Amazon has also spent decades and tons of money building out the ecosystem of AWS: Ebs, alb, rds, etc.
You don’t need any of that stuff for training. You just need gpus.
If you don’t need it don’t pay for it.
Not likely, you’d need a CT around the phase conductor(s) of every circuit. The meter likely only has CTs around the 2 (3) phase conductors on the incoming service drop.

It is entirely possible to meter each individual circuit, either with CTs and a meter or (gross simplification) special breakers that have metering capability built-in.

I like to write mini apps and browser extensions for myself, half because it's useful and quick, and half because it's just a darn pleasure to code in Elm so I take any excuse I can to do so. Here's one:

- Battle Objectives (demo in the README) a web app to automate generating battle objectives in the tabletop game Gloomhaven. https://github.com/tristanpendergrass/battle-objectives
> The participants are not gamers, they are addicts and victims.

That's judgemental. If you wanted to, you could just as well say that about any user who enjoys to use any product.

We're absolutely seeing the same thing even in non-GPU traditional servers. Here is an estimated monthly cost breakdown for a new GCP instance type, the n4-standard-2, in us-central1:

2 vCPU + 8 GB memory: $69.18
10 GB Hyperdisk Balanced: $0.80
3060 provisioned IOPS: $15.30
155 MB/s provisioned throughput: $6.20
Total: $91.48

Like, you can tear apart that $69/mo for 2vCPU + 8gb of memory, no problem. That's utterly insane. Its Emerald Rapids, so you're paying a premium for new chips, whatever. You can also tear apart the network egress, obviously.

But just look at the SSD pricing. That's a ten gigabyte SSD provisioned for 155MB/s, for $22/month. You can go just outright buy a 256gb NVME at significantly higher bandwidth on Amazon for like $25, flat. The n4 tier instances removed the ability to use their cheaper general-purpose SSDs; you have to use hyperdisks.

I'd be surprised if we don't see the big cloud providers start struggling over the next ten years. I think they engineered planetary-scale systems that are just way too expensive and complex to justify the cost they're charging; ZIRP phenomena.
My Danish electricity supplier gives hour-by-hour usage, with the most recent hour being 23-24 yesterday, so I assume it updates at midnight.

I don't know if there's an API or something to get almost-current data.
I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. I'm saying it's fact. Humans like sweet foods because with the exception of felids, pretty much every species on the planet gains a survival advantage by consuming as many calories as possible when eating. This means that our brains feel rewarded when we eat sugary foods, and rewarded behavior is repeated behavior. That wasn't a problem when such foods were rare but now that they're available pretty much anywhere on-demand, yeah, it's a problem.

Personal accountability can only go so far when you're shown ads for sugary cereals and candy every morning as a kid.

Contrast that with, say, the current marijuana market in my region. It's regulated, it's only available at a relatively high price from licensed dispensaries. There are billboards but not much in the way of TV or radio ads. It's not marketed to kids. If you get addicted to marijuana in the Lower Midwestern US, that's a lack of personal accountability because you can't point to all of the stuff that's used to make junk food popular and say "they got me addicted!".
It looks like they are simulating a solid modeling program, one that looks vaguely like SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor/Fusion, but with a worse user interface.[1]

Many distortions above; let's just pick one:

They elected Hamas

Hamas won a narrow plurality in the 2006 legislative elections. That government dissolved entirely in 2007 after a military conflict between Hamas and Fatah.

So since 2007, Hamas has not been "elected". In any case it's main function since then has been as an instrument of Israeli policy. In Bibi's own words, just a few years ago: "Anyone who wants to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support strengthening Hamas."

So if you are unhappy with Hamas still being around, you know who to direct your concerns at.
This will be a boon for Oracle.
Off-topic, but I see you always responding very quickly whenever Sourcegraph is mentioned.

I was entertained a while back when I saw you getting accused for using sockpuppets, but am I correct in thinking that you're probably just using the API to monitor for name mentions?

Edit: To be clear, I think this is great and that more companies should do this.
I would think the late game would be getting bought out by AWS/G Cloud/Azure.

I use vim, mutt, tig, newsboat, jless (if that counts) pretty much daily. Also a TUI Confluence client which I wrote and which I am the only user of as far as I know. Navigating Confluence becomes a breeze.
You should include a timeout in the curl to detect if it hangs, or if it gets slower than it should be.

this project looks REALLY nice. congrats!
I'm Indian-American, as I stated above, and the list of subcategories are my own ethnic taxonomy.

I'm not sure what part of the Lingayat distinction bothers you. My grandparents would characterize it as "Lingayat" vs "Brahmina"; would you have preferred that framing?
Diversity in university admissions is a good thing. But US universities guarantee equality of outcome. This is wrong, it should be merit based. If you argue that there is a clear ethnicity correlated class divide, you can achieve more fair diversity by giving more chances to student's from poor backgrounds, instead of focusing on their ethnicity.
What's strange is Docker Compose is very slowly resurging. I almost feel like that with a few more primitves (e.g. nodes with tags) and you'd have a much simpler Kubernetes. Which a lot of people might like.
You are very lucky. I've been finding it hard to make time for my hobbies lately.
First, you're not alone. The desires for autonomy and agency are a continuum and people are spread along it. It's indeed unfortunate that "software as a team sport" is sometimes treated as orthodoxy in modern business. You might enjoy the relevant section on Derek Sivers' about page:

* https://sive.rs/about (ctrl-f "love to work alone")

Second, you know what's next. You need to find a way to direct your desire to something besides your employer, on a daily basis. This is not a unique problem, but it isn't easy either. You'll have to decide (for the near term), whether that target is some alternative income stream, a more fulfilling hobby, or a mixture. Then you'll have to make the recurring effort.

Some people put in time on their goal before "work". Some people figure out how to mentally downshift at work. Some people just quit and burn the boats. There are many paths. It all starts with clear and concrete goals. Then try, fail, and try again. Good luck, you can do it.
I built a RSS feed viewer (https://rss.nkit.dev/) that is also a podcast and youtube player. I wanted it to be my primary window to wide west of internet. It is still work in progress but I'm happy that I can listen to podcasts/watch_videos on it without being pulled into recommendations. To use, give it a link to raw text file with rss feed links on separate lines (I use github gist for this), I know I should use OPML when the time comes.

I also built an android launcher (https://github.com/nkitsaini/nkit-launcher/) that has a single page grid of big icons as home page. I keep all non time consuming things on home-page and everything else I need to search for. I never see original icons of the app in my launcher.
I just want a “big buttons” mode on my phone with the 4 apps that I might need while driving taking up the whole screen.

All of these things exist, but they're designed for the commercial market and are usually MUCH more expensive than the consumer products.

For the car, check out any commercial rental truck, even today those will have very basic setups. Why? Because the people buying it aren't the people driving it, so they ONLY care about the legal minimums and what they need for the workers to get their jobs done.
Good news! Cars with telemetry are already mandatory in the EU since 2018! :)

Both awesome to see, but also feels like this radically speeds up the ratcheting to a world where governments directly define what software computers may and may not run. And existential threat to end-user/general purpose computing.
"With your agreement, we and our *830* partners use cookies or similar technologies" - this must be some joke I fail to understand. What an absurd number.
I recently had a coworker point out VisiData: https://www.visidata.org/

It has a huge number of data formats it can visualize, but I haven't taken the time to go through them all. What I do know is that it is great for viewing CSVs in a terminal. Even if I don't use it for anything else, that alone merits an install from me.

Hi there. Thanks a lot for the kind words. One of the reasons I started to spend more time on my blog is because of the reasons you listed. I know X/Twitter has still its place, but I've discovered that people like to read long-form with nice pictures.

Just have your monitoring system hit some health check endpoint of yours to verify everything is reachable & healthy.
I head up Product at Lambda. We are an NVIDIA preferred partner (and keep winning the preferred partner award). I don't know what the allocation numbers are for other companies, but we get a lot.

It's in NVIDIAs best interest to spread the love around and make sure all the GPUs don't go to the hyperscalers.
They've been reprimanded by a federal judge for blatant extrajudicial power grabs like this one. None of their huge cases claiming various cryptocurrencies are securities have succeeded, except in the super cut-and-dry cases like ICOs and centralized schemes that clearly pass the Howey test.
This article is about a DirectX video driver that always returned "true" when asked if it supported a capability, regardless of the capability. The driver was written by the sales department.

To catch the driver in a lie, a DirectDraw developer created a GUID that could never be valid by destroying a network card and using its MAC address in the GUID generation algorithm
That doesn't seem unfair on the face of it?
> If someone is starting the trial and then not using the software for a week or month, that's their mistake.

No, that's your mistake as a software maker. User behavior is user behavior.

If you're losing potential paying customers because you lock them out of the trial because they didn't come back to it for a week, it's your sales that will suffer.
Probably some are, but the addictive aspect is more in the collecting of rare tokens with specific aspect.

It requires a staggering amount of grinding to get these prized tokens, which forces players to spend an inordinate amount of time and constantly face prompts where they can pay to increase the chances of getting something.

The chance aspect is critical, as the addicts aren't paying for a specific result but at the chance of a result. This human impulse is something that predatory companies have found very lucrative to exploit -- from gambling and collecting and now done with precision by "gaming" companies.
It may or may not cause the vehicle to stop functioning.

A boring job may lead to feelings of dissatisfaction which can impact your mental health.
The BBC article especially is conflating two kinds of 'fake'.

The balsamic vinegar most of us buy is not the super expensive 'Traditional balsamic vinegar', which is what they're describing aging in barrels for 12 years. It may still be 'balsamic vinegar of Modena', which is a protected term but with much less strict requirements, and consequently much cheaper. And 'balsamic vinegar' without qualifiers is not protected at all, as far as I know. It seems like a stretch to call these fakes.

Either protected term can fetch a better price than generic 'balsamic vinegar', so someone will have a go at faking some paperwork to make their product more valuable. The Guardian article describes one such case that was caught (in 2019), but doesn't say much about how prevalent this is.
In the old days when telemetry was exotic this was the answer.

No 2XX-499 results means the server is borked.

If you wanted to be really fancy you could send heartbeat requests when no live traffic had hit that node for n milliseconds.

I still think the latter is the right answer. Why inflate traffic when you are horizontally scaling? That’s a lot of health checks per second.
This reminds me of my oven, which apparently has no setting to turn off its broadcasting its own wifi ssid. So, forevermore, all our computer wifi menus will have [LG_Oven]xyz as an option, and our spectrum will be slightly more congested. At least their customer support didn’t know how to turn it off. I wouldn’t have considered it possible that an appliance maker would ship an appliance with no ability to turn off its wifi broadcast.

Don’t buy LG appliances.
Seconding this. We've used them for a little over a year now for heartbeats + external status dashboard. Easy platform to set up and maintain. Decent pricing.
At some point, nvidia does have to worry about amd getting their act together once they've annoyed all the current customers

I don't think it's especially helpful to use this kind of "let's look at an infinite timeline/every possible outcome" type of reasoning. What if a region's local economy crashes and there are no more cars or pedestrians? Those bollards sure seem like a waste of money now! What if? What if?

There's no algorithm to make this decision. It is best to do it iteratively, intelligently, and wisely. You use a bit of science and statistics, read the room to make a vibes-based analysis of what people want, present the public with a proposal that matches their principles with your own principles, and to finally look at the results after some time. You mention yourself what is basically the 'optimal engineering outcome' is apparently to eliminate pedestrians altogether. If that's what engineering wants, then engineering is wrong.
Google doesn't use nVidia chips, at least for AI. They have their own in house solution.
Over the weekend a coworker was helping someone in our lab prepare data for an important conference talk.

We accidentally ran up a rather large bill because while the EFS storage pricing was simple enough, the usage pricing bit us.

It seems like AWS' entire business model is making the pricing so confusing that you don't know what it will cost until after you've used it. It feels weirdly similar to the US healthcare/insurance situation.

More competition in this space can only be a good thing.
Yeah this is funny to me that someone complain that about this, like just play other games lol

there enough pokemon game that dnt require location based gameplay and this pokemon go cant have that ??? lol
The time is the rub.

If you're stuck in traffic for time measured in hours, you're not baking fresh bread during the week.
I agree. However since 2009 the Head of Design has been Oliver Grabes, and I love where is he heading. He started to think more about legacy Braun design and started incorporating old design elements in their never elements.
Are they comparable in weight? My experience is that wool tends to be quite a bit heavier (though I am thinking of felt rarer than ‘fleece’)
Added.

In fact, this is what I'd recommend (though I use Pushover), because then you don't have to be concerned with email setup, not getting caught in spam filters, firewalls, etc. You could also send a Slack/Teams alert with a similar POST.

For some reason, I thought I had read that OP wanted to send an email.
Yes, it is required by regulation established many years ago. There is dedicated spectrum for it, so that it doesn't overlap with existing networks. Both the automotive company and the government are entitled to that data. Many cars also use normal mobile spectrum because that is actually available everywhere and works. The explicit scope of use, beyond collecting operational data, is law enforcement and traffic control. Cars can take commands over-the-air via this data link.

This has been pushed by governments for 20+ years. Now that the technology has caught up, automotive OEMs are finding their own revenue-generating uses for this data.
I'm sure the really important switches (like the big "red" SCRAM/trip button) will still be physical. As they are in SpaceX Dragon capsule.

I'd also be interested. I'm currently developing a kind-of-a-tui that is essentially "Vim but for UI designers" and really could use some inspiration.

The savings on grocery can also be a delusion if you don't eat it before it goes bad. I would rather go to a local grocery store and buy fresh fruit every time I need it, than buy a box of it at Costco and feel obliged to continually eat the same foods lest I throw it away.

Sometimes the complete lack of selection at Costco is nice - no more rummaging through faceless brand names on Amazon selling you the same generic junk, just shut your brain off and buy the one option at Costco.

I only go to Costco an hour before their closing time on the weekdays just to avoid the crowds, it's worked out so far but obviously that's not practical for everyone.
That's a good idea and, in theory, I could implement a lot of different models.

In practice, because it's self-hosted, "cracking" might be an issue. Customers might edit the files that affect the retention, for example. Maybe most customers won't do it, but I don't know. This also feels a bit like I would have to implement some "DRM", which I really don't want.

Now that you mentioned it, maybe a better trial would be a freemium model, where I can serve a different version for free that only has some features. The problem with this, is that the customer won't get all the benefits of using the product, so they might not like it enough to upgrade to the full version.

It's an analytics platform, so I could offer just basic stats for free and for premium all the other features (segments, heatmaps, recordings, A/B tests, AI integration, etc.). This could work as a good marketing technique for the top of the funnel, but then customers would still probably want to trial the pro features, so I am stuck with the same problem as before.
> So that’s my productivity measure: value-add capacity. The percentage of engineering time we spend on adding value for users and customers.

I think this is an important metric, but it doesn't mean anything if that time is wasted. Imagine the team has no muda, they are spending all their time on value-add, productivity is 100% right? Well no, you still need to succeed at what you're doing, do it well, and in a reasonable time.

This isn't a measure of productivity, it's a measure of time allocation.
If you're interested Dieter Rams itself goes into it a little bit in the "Rams" documentary. But it all happened after Gillette acquired Braun in the 1970's.
Considering how many HTTP requests the web interface takes, I can see a dedicated Confluence client being a big win.
Is compressed air in itself source of energy ? Or does it depend on the external air pressure as well ? For example I compress air in a canister and move it to outer space or deep underwater, does the energy we can exploit out of it goes up or down ?
> People don't want the tech companies to provide the consequences for breaking the law, they want tech companies to do a better job preventing the law from being broken in the first place.

And yet no one seems to hold anyone other then "tech companies" to the same standard. No one expects the phone company to preemptively identify and block stalkers, or monitor the content of people's phone calls to filter out threatening or offensive language. No one expects the postal service to do the same for written correspondence. No one expects the people managing parking lots to prevent people from driving without insurance or licenses, or newspapers to vet the intentions of whomever is still posting classified ads in print media.

The internet is just a digital version of the same sorts of communication tools and public gathering spaces we've always had. Why would we expect people who are providing tools to communicate with each other to preemptively police conduct of their users, when we don't expect the same (and would likely find it intrusive) from the offline venues that they're analogous to?

This often a complicated case regarding competition law. In our neoliberal world giving away something for free that was subsidized is often seen as destroying market. The national CIO of Germany at one time recommended public bodies to us copyleft (also the EC opted for EPL) , rather than putting it into public domain. I also like this idea. However, this is fundamentaly different from the US. The German weather service even had to shutdown some functions in their free app due to a court order.
Kubernetes' API-server is a fairly small shim over etcd, another ReST data-store. MongoDB provides a similar web-ful data-store that probably greatly eases implementation, is low-impedance.

Not that I would do the same, but I can understand to some degree.
The most significant value I get from Costco is that the quality is consistently high and the options are well curated. I like not having to go through 100s of brands of basic staples like yogurt, toilet paper, milk, etc...
The Design Museum in Brussels[1] also has a sizeable collection of Dieter Rams and other Braun items. The theme of the permanent exhibition is polymers, so there's everything from little electronic devices to whole modular plastic storage units on display. I'd highly recommend it!

I just knew someone would reply with a comment like this but foolishly I decided not to get ahead of it.

Sure, there used to be more. Sure, there are obviously better places to be as a Jew.
